Do you want to show your friend a specific profile or report someone? Fortunately, Facebook makes saving the URL to your device's clipboard easy. Since there's no address bar in the Facebook app, you'll need to go directly to the profile's menu. This wikiHow will show you how to find and copy a Facebook profile URL using the mobile app and a mobile web browser on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.

Things You Should Know

Navigate to a profile in the Facebook app or https://www.facebook.com in a mobile browser.
Tap "•••" in the top-right corner of the screen. Scroll down and tap "Copy link" underneath "Profile link."
You can use Facebook's profile link to share profiles with others without using the search feature.
